Setup
HELIX
Spray Gun
The spray gun is grounded through the whip
hose ground wire. Do not spray without using
the whip hose.
Fluid Supply
Chambers
Follow the local code.
Object being
sprayed
Follow the local code.
Waste
Containers
Follow the local code. Only use metal containers
placed on a grounded surface when flushing the
system. Do not place metal waste containers on
paper or cardboard surface. A non-conductive
surface such as these can interrupt grounding
continuity.
While flushing or relieving system pressure,
ground the gun by holding it against the edge of
the metal container. Failure to do so may lead to
a static electric discharge, which may cause a fire.

1. Remove the cup cap with a straight-slot screwdriver.
2. Fill the cup reservoir with DOP (Dioctylphthalate) or
compatible plasticizer (Fig. 15) until the gauge (1) is
showing that it is full.
Attention
DOP (Dioctylphthalate) or a compatible
plasticizer prevents increased wear and tear to
the packings and will keep spray material from
crystalizing on the fluid section.
3. Replace cup cap.
4. Press button (2) 2-5 times to prime the dispenser. Press
once for every eight hours of usage to lubricate and
protect the fluid section.

A 230V power cord is not included with the
system. Make sure a grounded, 230V outlet is
available in order to power the system.

It is recommended that the Helix System be used
with a generator. This provides the flexibility
with not having to use the public power grid.
When connected to the public, low-voltage
network, it is possible that an approval of
the network operator is required. Check the
regulations in your country and contact your
network operator before connecting the unit to
a public electricity grid.

If using a generator to power the system, refer to
section 2.2 prior to plugging in the power cord.
1. First plug the adapter end of the supplied power cord
into the power cord port located on the side of the block
heater.
2. Plug the other end of the supplied power cord into a
grounded, 230V outlet.

grouND The SySTem
Proper grounding (earthing) is important. The
passage of some materials through the nylon
fluid hose will build up a static electric charge,
which if discharged, could ignite solvent vapors
present and create an explosion.
